Kirkus Reviews

... the use of vibrant and complementary watercolors in full-page spreads or in small conversational squares attests to Nell's bright and giving nature. ... Nell's unusual tenacity and generous way of coping with a bully add enlightenment to an all-too-common occurrence in children's lives everywhere.

School Library Journal

|
... The illustrations are soft and bright ... though smiles abound, they reflect the protagonist's quietness. A good addition where there is a demand for books about shyness.
